The Nature of Enough
Do lilacs wake and question if they are fragrant enough?
Do ants kick themselves at the end of the day for not working fast enough?
Do trees sweat over whether they are providing good enough shade?
Do raindrops apologize for inconveniencing an eyelash covered in mascara?
No.
Then, why?
Oh, why do you let yourself drown in self-doubt?
